And there's nothing left to grieve....

woke up late today, debating a possible impromtu trip to harrisonburg for a couple days... then i remembered fiona was playing at wolf trap tonight... i had forgotten about it entirely... sure enough, my tickets were long gone, so i glumly accepted my fate to never actually get to see fiona in concert... then i went online, looked at the setlist from the past several nights, and decided i really wanted to go....

made a quick phone call and soon secured a 2nd row center seat. ;) love my connections.

fiona is so amazingly wonderful. a lot of the show reviews online were pretty negative, mentioning her voice being scratchy and her mood being less than stellar. while both may have been true tonight, it didn't take away from the experience at all. she is so inspiring, i felt moved by so many of her songs. the setlist was fantastic... the only song i kinda wanted to hear, but didn't, was "never is a promise"... although given my state of being lately i probably would have collapsed sobbing on the ground, and that's never a good thing in the second row. she looked gorgeous... and i had to giggle thinking about the threesomes spoken of betwixt me and a certain gentlemen... i think if i ever had the opportunity, i wouldn't want to share her.



i got a couple good pics and some good video on my phone tonight. sadly i've never taken the time to truly figure out the camera options... and i just prefer black and white, so that's what most of them are.

the last time i sat so close at wolf trap was that magical night in june of 2004 when micah and i were there for rufus and ben. :) good times. wish i'd known then the things/people i know now, would have been more magical.

my sister told me tonight that if i'm so obsessed with being in a city then i should just shut up already and move to nyc. she said it with such objective honesty i had to marvel at what an obvious solution it would be. tempting....

"How many times can it escalate
'Till it elevates to a place I can't breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I'm much obliged to up and go

I'll idealize,
then realize that it's no sacrifice,
because the price is paid
And there's nothing left to grieve...

Fuckin go"
